Accessing gateway management console

Abstract

Technical solutions are described for accessing a management console of a gateway device in an internet of things (IoT) system. An example method includes receiving wirelessly, by an administrative device, access information for the management console of the gateway device. The method further includes receiving, by the administrative device, from a gateway resolver device, an address for the gateway device in response to sending the access information to the gateway resolver device. The method further includes accessing, by the administrative device, the management console of the gateway device using the address. The method further includes adjusting, by the administrative device, one or more settings of the gateway device using the IoT system.
